The 2015 World Trademark Review 1000 (WTR) recently named Lane Powell as one of the top trademark law firms in Oregon and Washington, and Lane Powell Shareholders Kenneth R. Davis II, Parna A. Mehrbani, Frances M. Jagla and Paul D. Swanson as top individuals in the practice. WTR said Lane Powell “is never afraid to deploy its full might in multifaceted trademark engagements,” whose “savvy attorneys can distinguish the shades of grey in a trademark brief,” adding that the Firm “brings a holistic view to mandates, with an intuitive grasp of when to take a step back and look at the big picture.” WTR stated that Davis, who is Chair of the Firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology Practice Group, “is a safe pair of hands for any dispute,” and that Mehrbani is “a respected member of the IP community,” who has “carved a niche in fair use suits relating to the trademarks of famous bands and their former members.” In addition, WTR called Jagla “one of the most distinguished pharmaceutical attorneys in the country,” and stated that Swanson has “earned a sterling reputation for his robust courtroom presence.”
Lane Powell offers one of the Pacific Northwest’s most comprehensive intellectual property practices, due to its record of successfully litigating disputes involving patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and unfair competition issues, among others.
